At the Waukesha/Sussex Exit off I-94 
(see mapquest link below)
JAN 28th & 29th from 6-9 PM and 
JAN 30th from 9-3

Kids Against Hunger provides dried food packages that feed a balanced diet of basic nutritional needs for six people each. Participants assemble packages in a supervised, sanitary setting in an assembly line fashion in 90 minute shifts. To date, over 40,000,000 Kids Against Hunger meals have been distributed here in the U.S. and around the world. We plan on packaging 500,000 meals during the 3 day event. Transportation and a destination in Haiti has been arranged, waiting for this life saving food. You can help bring healing and save lives. You must call the number listed below to register.

WHO? Any person, whether a child or a senior citizen, if able to sit or stand for up to 90 minutes filling bags on an assembly line, can help fill the packages although children and teens must be accompanied by an adult. This is a great family service opportunity!

WHEN? Thursday, Jan 28 from 6-9 PM Friday, Jan 29 from 6-9 PM Saturday, Jan 30 from 9-3

WHERE? Westwood Business Center W229N1420 Westwood Dr Waukesha, WI 53086 (Next Door to American TV near I 94)

REGISTER BY PHONE AT 262/251-9870 (Phone line will be active starting Thursday Jan 21st) You will be signing up for a 90 minute shift. You must register to reserve your place. Each participant should bring $25 to cover the cost of the food and materials used for the food, packing and shipping. The $25 donation is tax deductible. Checks can be made payable to Kids Against Hunger, a 501c3 non-profit corporation. If the cost is more than you can afford at this time, we have pledge sheets available on the table outside of the CF Office that you can pick up or I can attach a copy through email upon request. The pledge sheet would be a way of involving friends and neighbors in covering some of your participation cost.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP BUT CAN’T COME YOURSELF, consider a Tax Deductible Donation made to: Kids Against Hunger at PO Box 442 Sussex, WI 53089 Or you could sponsor someone else to work!
